Hi, Hypno-Friends!<\/p>\n
I woke up this morning thinking about motivation.\u00a0\u00a0 Have you ever said to yourself:\u00a0 “I WANT<\/strong> to do this!”?\u00a0 Did that alone move you to do\u00a0it?\u00a0 For the people that come into my Bellevue hypnotherapy office for help in such things as losing weight or quitting smoking, the answer is typically “no.”\u00a0 They want to.\u00a0 They haven’t.\u00a0 (Yet.)<\/p>\n Have you ever said to yourself:\u00a0 “I NEED<\/strong> to do this!”?\u00a0 Did that move you more or less to actually accomplish it?<\/p>\n Want vs. need.\u00a0 Those two words create different feelings inside us, that are often in conflict.\u00a0 Here is a classic example I hear from my weight loss clients:\u00a0 I want to sit on the couch, watch TV and eat donuts, however I need to go to the gym and get on the elliptical machine.<\/p>\n Want is desire, an attraction, a pull.\u00a0 I want that new car.\u00a0 Need is necessity, and can be a push away from something we don’t want.\u00a0 I need to do the dishes, or I won’t have any clean ones to eat off of.\u00a0 Either one alone, want or need, might move us to action.\u00a0 Or not.<\/p>\n Here’s my insight!\u00a0\u00a0What if we combine these motivations?<\/p>\n How much more likely are you to DO the thing you both want to do and need to do?\u00a0 What if you wanted to go to the gym as well as needed to?\u00a0\u00a0 Would you be sitting on the couch with donuts?\u00a0 No way, Jose!<\/p>\n A combo of want and need generates massive power for forward action!\u00a0 You’re moving away from what you don’t want and don’t need and towards what you do want and do need at the same time.\u00a0 This is something I help people create in themselves through hypnosis and NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming.\u00a0 I have found it to be very, very useful for helping clients achieve their goals.<\/p>\n The meaning and utility of words is my business.\u00a0 And because one of my personal goals (NEED and WANT) is to become the best at what I do, I spend every waking minute, including this Sunday morning, musing on the power of words.\u00a0 If you need or want some changes in your life and they aren’t happening, give us a call.\u00a0 We’ll get you moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n Warm Regards,
\nConnie<\/p>\n
